CVE-2026-68354

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

firewire: net: Fix fragmented datagram reassembly

fwnet_frag_new() keeps a sorted list of received fragments for a partial

datagram. When a new fragment is adjacent to an existing fragment, the

code checks whether the new fragment also closes the gap to the next or

previous list entry.

Those neighbor lookups currently assume that the current fragment always

has a real next or previous fragment. At a list edge, the next or

previous entry is the list head, not a struct fwnet_fragment_info.

The gap checks also compare against the old edge of the current fragment

instead of the edge after adding the new fragment. As a result, a

fragment that bridges two existing ranges may leave two adjacent ranges

unmerged, so fwnet_pd_is_complete() can miss a complete datagram.

Check for the list head before looking up the neighboring fragment, and

compare the neighbor against the new fragment's far edge when deciding

whether to mer

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
